Sorry for the delay....

I know its been awhile since my last post, roughly 22 days not that im counting. Just wanted to throw a little bit of an update out there... The job search is in progress with several interviews and a couple seconds, nothing has landed so far. What makes it a bit more frustrating is that our temporary housing is finished at the end of the month of september. Now some of you might say well you have plenty of time to get something lined up, i would agree....but we need to put down an ass load of money on an apartment before we can move in. So you see the dilemma now, no jobby no cashy. If i was a totally scumbag id solicitate money thru my blog...but i would never do that....any donations would be wonderful :) lol j/k if anyone sends me a dime ill be pissed. So we are going into crunch time, which is just shy of crisis mode and we dont wanna go there. To hopefully expedite this process I spoke with a

(i might have to talk with bean to

get the attire for the job)

recruiter yesterday so hopefully this will lead to good things. Other than the job search, life has been pretty good, finally learning my way around the waltham area, oh and they still cant drive up here, i actually have life long bostonains testimonials on this. The Q ball is doing well, she is finishing up the first phase of her job training this friday and she will start the on the job stuff next week.

On a side note, i actually stepped into a fitness facility recently, i must say that i knew i was out of shape but it was a matter of how out of shape i was. Lets just say its a good thing i didnt have a job....i was laid up for a couple days, but got back on the horse and have proceeded to go a few other times since then. the goal is to be able to afford a gym membership, so that way i am not a complete fat ass and i can lose my membership to the dick'e'do club...dont ask, i saw it on a t-shirt.

Till the next time...G'arrr

Right turn clyde...

So one of the things i have noticed while being in New England, these bastads dont know how to drive, AT ALL! During the rainstorm on the drive up i took for granted as it might not rain that much up here, its New England, they have an ocean view, so i know it has to rain. Plus it has rained about 50% of the time we have been here, so get used to it already. But enough about poor rain driving, they just cant drive in general. I think i have found how gm and ford are cutting corners besides laying off jobs, they are not putting turn signals into the cars that they sell in NE. Oh and do not i repeat do not obey a stop sign, if you do be prepared for a lound HONK! Worse off they just pull out in traffic and expect you to stop so that they can pull out of a parking lot, WTF! I think i might have to buy a snowplow ths winter and show these morons how i really feel. So besides the horrific driving abilities and the lack of street signs, New England isnt all that bad. Good food and damn good beer, now all i need to do is find a J.O.B. and i will be all set.

A side note, i forgot how to check my responses for my blog and when i figured it all out i was shocked to see that a few people actually read it...Thanks fella's.

NFL Notwork...

So last night at dinner, i had this great rant in mind for the blog...sadly a few margarita's later and that idea vanished like cupcakes at fat camp. So after racking my mind to figure out what the hell was grinding my gears, i threw in the towel. Lucky for me I became excited for a preseason football game...i know i know, its preseason. But this game will officially begin the Mike Tomlin Era in the Steel City, so i just wanted to watch the game to give my professional opinion and to give this blog a wee bit more substance. Well then i found out the game was on the NFL Notwork, i was about to jump off a bridge. For those who do not know the nfl notwork used to be carried by the cable networks when you bought the digital packages, but since no one ever watched it, they thought it would be a great idea to make it a premium channel, like hbo or skinimax. Who ever thought of that idea....The Comish, Roger G. is a moron, no one watched it then and no one will pay to watch it. So here i sit with my hopes higher than Dave Chappelle in Half Baked, only to find out that i wont be able to watch a single snap. For some reason the nfl notwork picks up certain games thru out the year, i think they threw in another game on thanksgiving last year and now the hall of fame game. What else will they do in the future...pay per view for the superbowl? So looks like ill be watching the high lights of the 3rd and 4th stringers on ESPN, the total sports network....Thanks William Rasmusen (sorry for butchering the name) He founded ESPN and is a Lambda Chi to boot.

Directions please!!!

So as you know i usually have a good sense of direction and can find my way around....We'll that has all changed :) i feel like im in the bermuda triangle, up is down and down is up and i dont know what direction im going. But the good thing is that i am learning that every city names their streets all the same and that they do not believe in street signs. Oh the good thing is that i am getting to see this beautiful town. But the finally kick in the pills was when i got wise and decided to use the map i bought.....sadly the city i was driving around in wasnt on the DAMN MAP!!!!! But that sense of direction came into play i actually found my way back to where i was heading and got back on track, so i guess i still got it.

The good news is that i have my first interview today, hopefully i can find the joint :)

The Triumphant Return...To blog or not to blog

Sorry for the loooong delay, roughly two months if your scoring at home. To be honest i have consulted my blogging mentor and we discussed whether or not i could/wanted to continue to blog. For a while there i was about 99% sure that i would never blog again, it just was not for me, plus i cannot spell very well :) But i must say that the recent move to boston has inspired me to give it one more go. Since there will be new experiences, trials and tribulations going on in my life that this could be the chance to get this blog off of life support and get it up and kicking again.

So after 12 hours in a car, we finally arrived in Mass. and for some strange reason i thought we were in phoenix....it started to rain and no one up here new how to drive a car...WTF? Its New England!!!! Anyway, moving on, of course your first night in a new city there are several things you need to locate first: 1. your apartment, check 2. grocery store, check 3. liquior store, check (listed by priority not importance) For those of my many millions of readers who know that i love a good pint of beer or bottle for that matter, i see this as a great opportunity to indulge in some of New Englands finest microbrews. Last night i enjoyed a six of SmuttyNose Summer Weizen Ale. It did get better with time, then again so does Shlitz, it was a little hoppy at first, but after the first two the next four went down like gang busters, so with that ill give it 6.5 (out of 10). The .5 is for the picture on the front of the label, it is right out of what looks like the 50's, it is someones mom on a raft in a pool, and below the picture it says "C'mon in, the water is nice". When i get a digital camara i will drink another six and repost the label i promise. Till next time....Gaaarrr

Sorry for the delay....

Picking up where i left off on Saturday, so the Q got me tix to go see george for christmas. We drove down to Columbus to catch dinner and a beer or two before the show. But it got ugly quick, the second i parked the car i came to the sad realization that my keyless entry decided to crap out on me. Solution...use the key, but if you dont have a key? Leave the car unlocked in downtown columbus for oh 6 or 7 hours, sounds like a good idea to me. So i sucked it up and said screw it, if they want it they can take it....inside praying for a snow storm if someone did steal it( my heat doesnt work....at all). So we went to dinner at the Elevator Brewery and i must say they had some stellar brew and damn good eats if i must say so. But the most amazing thing was the service, we told the server we were in a hurry, i think it took a total of 10 minutes for them to serve the entire course, salads, app, you name it, so kudos for that.

After dinner we walked by my car, i figured a few minutes in a bar would somehow recharge my keyless entry, i was way off on that one, so off to the show we go. Side note, if you have never been to Columbus Civic theatre, give it a try, it's very beautiful. We had great seats, center balcony, right on the aisle to boot. Now i have been a george carlin fan for many years, hence my language, i own all of his books and have seen many of his hbo specials. Georgie walks out on stage with a notebook and some loose sheets of paper. He announces that he is working on new material for his next hbo special, he just turned 70 so he now calls himself an "old fuck". George was his edgy old self, with the exception of him crossing a couple lines during the show i give it 3 3/4 stars out of 5. Those lines that he crossed were not hairlines either, they were more like gorges, but i guess thats his way to stay up with the times. So after the show, i made the not so long dreadful walk back to the taurus, with fingers crossed that it was still there....and sure enough out of the corner of my eye there she was, i was able to tell by the two toned bumper that i had installed almost a year ago. Stay tuned...

And down the stretch they come...

The 132nd running of the preakness and the one year anniversary of Barbaro. Going back to this race last year when Barbaro went down, i clearly remember seeing the look on his owners faces....Agony to say the least, but what i noticed most was the look on thier kids faces. They had a look of sadness as any child would in that scenario. But the best part is when the one kid tried to hug his mom and she pushed him away. Now in her mind im sure it made sense, because she could get millions upon millions of dollars putting that horse out to stud. And all those brats would give her was dept in the form of college student loans, so the choice was simple. I guess my question is are they getting any royalties from Alpo. Oh and also on this date a year ago, i passed on going to see pearljam, i decided to get loaded instead.

Okay, so now that i have secured my place in hell, im going to see George Carlin tonight. As if going to hell wasnt bad enough i have to go see GC tonight to ensure i get a front row seat, review of the show to follow.
